What is the status of replacing initrd. Do we actually have a solution that works across a wide range of architectres? Wide enough for an upload to experimental? Wide enough for unstable and testing?
initramfs-tools is test on i386, ppc, amd64, and sparc. ia64 are having issues that I will start tracking again when Breezy releases (I've just run out of time for now), but both appear to be solvable.
On i64, the inflate code misreads the magic number, I suspect that get_byte is behaving poorly.
On hppa, I am getting a segfault in run_init and an lseek error in fstype. It's probably something simple like a register that needs to be setup.
I have not tested on mips, mipsel, arm, m68k, s390 or sh. klibc failed on mips and mipsel, which isn't promising. It compiled on s390 which is surprising.
We have a workaround for the compile error for sparc.
The ports that I listed as known-working above are using initramfs-tools for the Breezy release. So I generally *hope* they're well enough tested. I'll let you know in a week ;)
Tks,
Jeff Bailey
